Contact Key Stakeholders

One of the most important things you can do is contact government officials and the key stakeholders responsible for approving the pipeline. While some may tell you there is nothing they can do to prevent the pipeline, there are many ways they can help you — facilitating meetings with important stakeholders, filing resolutions, getting answers, identifying other people or resources that might be able to help.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

Explain how the pipeline will affect you, personally. Help them understand the human toll associated with the pipeline.

Find out what they know – if you speak with them in person or over the phone, ask open ended questions. What do you think about…_______

Find out what specifically they will be doing to keep the community safe

Express your concerns or frustrations and find out how they can help.

If have done research or discussed the issues with others share your knowledge/understanding. Statistics, reports, industry information or dramatic video clips may be helpful.

Duke seems to have a corporate culture that sees issues from their own point of view. This can translate to a lack of understanding and empathy of the very people they are supposed to be serving. Note this recent safety issue in Carmel, Indiana. … https://t.co/nxemSedXjI

If you live or work near Conrey and School Rd, near Stewart Elementary School, be aware that Duke is doing pipeline inspection work in the area. (This is the location where the Central Corridor Pipeline would connect to the WW feeder station.)
